Musical Instruments
All instruments have a different timbre.
You will need to be able to tell certain instruments apart in your exam.
Listen to the following videos to see what the different instruments sound
like…
Chords
Remember the 4 Chords project? This was based around 4 chords that repeated over and over.
What is a chord?
Here is a chord. This example is a C chord
(because it starts on C).
If you play any two (or more)
notes together, you have made a
chord.
Why do we use chords?
• They create harmony. – This is when two notes play together to
create a thicker texture and (usually) a pleasant sounding backing.
This video shows a guitar
playing lots of different
chords:
